someone once told me though that asians are above fakery. so there is that.

On Jan. 23, China's state broadcaster, CCTV, ran a story about an air force training exercise that contained some suspicious footage. Around the segment's one minute 12 seconds mark (see above), as the China-U.S.-oriented blog Ministry of Tofu pointed out, "the way a target was hit by the air-to-air missile fired by a J-10 fighter aircraft and exploded looks almost identical to a cinema scene from the Hollywood film Top Gun."

Viewers were led to believe that what they were seeing was a live fire exercise. The narrator even says "shooting down a captured US modern fighter attack drone jet". But according to Ministry of Tofu: "A net user who went by the name "刘毅" (Liu Yi) pointed out that the jet that the J-10 'hit' is an F-5, a US fighter jet. In Top Gun, what the leading actor Tom Cruise pilots an F-14 to bring down is exactly an F-5. Looking at the screenshots juxtaposition, one cannot fail to find that even flame, smoke and the way the splinters fly look the same."

Not convinced? The Wall Street Journal's China Real Time Report put the videos side-by-side.

CCTV & the chinese pilots were unavailable for comment.

Daglord is on FI-YAH

You should have your own podcast dude.
I'd co-host :D

**edit after seeing the post below
HOLY SHIT

no time for jokes, man. This is heavy. Watching the media and anti-media flood to come will be intense.

This has the potential to be a 9/11 of the East of sorts
:shock:

[Daglord]

no shit. easily the most intense vid I've seen yet. speechless.

[What]

there are so many more dead than 13 as being stated, 1300 would be a modest estimate by the scale of the explosion and aftershock delay

[Masato]

Where is Winnson?

How far is this from where he lives?

[What]

Winnson is in Hong Kong, hes far away and safe imo

what is the official story here? a shipment of explosives exploded @ a hazardous chemicals plant? started from scattered fires?

[Daglord]

if that is the real CCTV, what a joke. they've spent maybe 30 mins (if that) in the last 2 hours covering the blast. :shock:

last vid. I think this puts it into perspective. RIP.
